Light effects are visual phenomena created by manipulating light—whether natural or artificial.
The term covers theatrical lighting, photographic techniques, and digital enhancements: The concert's light effects were spectacular, She added light effects in post-production.
In film and photography, light effects include lens flares, bokeh, and dramatic shadows.
